The BBC’s My Web My Way website
If you are someone who has difficulty browsing the internet, you may be interested in the BBC’s My Web My Way website. It is a comprehensive resource for accessibility on the internet and covers many topics from how to make the best use of your computer for accessibility e.g. whether you use a PC or Mac and the operating system you use, to case studies of disabled users who use the BBC site and to how you can see, hear or navigate the internet better. http://www.bbc.co.uk/accessibility.
Adobe
Adobe provides various tools that may help you to access information on websites. Adobe Reader is a software program that allows you to read and print Portable Document Format (PDF) files.
If you are a screen reader user, from December 2012 we endeavour to make PDF files on our site accessible to screen readers. PDF files uploaded before December 2012 are not fully accessible. As an alternative we provide a link to Adobe’s online PDF conversion tool.
Adobe provides a PDF conversion tool that converts PDF files to a more accessible format. You can then use either a browser, a word processing software program such as Microsoft Word, or a screen reader to access the file’s content. The PDF conversion tool can be found at: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/access_onlinetools.html.
These tools are part of Adobe’s website accessibility section which can be found at: http://www.adobe.com/accessibility/index.html.
